CHICAGO (Feb. 3, 2017) – The U.S. Under-15 Girls’ National Team will kick off its 2017 programming with a camp at the U.S. Soccer National Training Center in Carson, Calif., running from Feb. 11-18.

The camp will be led by U.S. Soccer Women’s Development Coach Mark Carr who has called up 40 players, almost all of whom were born in 2003 with two born in 2004.

This is the start of two-year cycle for this age group as U-15s before transitioning to U-17s in 2019 when they will form the core of the team that will attempt to qualify for the 2020 FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup.

Carr will be assisted at the large camp by Women’s Development Coach April Kater, who also heads the USA’s U-14 GNT program, as well as three former U.S. Women’s National Team players in 1995 Women’s World Cup Team member Jen Lalor, Kacey White and current FC Kansas City goalkeeper Nicole Barnhart.
